Cokie Roberts was born Mary Martha Corinne Morrison Claiborne Boggs, the daughter of Hale Boggs,
one of the chief racist in Congress and a signer of The Southern Manifesto against Brown v Board of Education
which integrated the schools.
Ms. Roberts is a chief supporter of Hillary Clinton as can be seen by her
comments last week on "Round Table" on ABC's "This Week."

Where Cokie called Obama a "cute young man saying sweet nothings," and
"He has not reached across the aisle to get things done, whereas she (Clinton)
has."
This completely over looks the fact that Obama has worked with
Senator Lugar on locking down weapons of mass destruction.
The point is, Cokie Roberts comes from a viciously racist family,
supports Clinton; comes into our living rooms every week
to belittle Obama; yet nobody asks Senator Clinton why the daughter
of a racist is allowed to advocate for Clinton.
The question is why is Farrakhan presumed to cast a shadow over
Obama, while Cokie Robert's father is not presumed to cast a shadow
over Clinton?
I would answer the Farrakhan question this way, "when you, (interviewer),
look into the racist background of every Clinton supporter and question her on
those, then it would be fair to question me on Farrakan; otherwise you
are not conducting a fair interview."
